5 Minute Makeup Tips for Mom

Prep Your Skin

The first tip is to keep facial cleansing cloths next to your bed! Many women let face cleansing go out the window after giving birth. Keep a few essentials such as cleansing cloths and moisturizer on your nightstand, then there is no excuse to skip the skin prep step.

This Pores Be Pure Skin-Clarifying Mask is a new tool in my 5 minute makeup tips for mom toolbox! If I squeeze in an extra step to keep my pores clear a couple times a week, then my skin feels more naturally beautiful each day.

Perk Up Tired Eyes

How can you wake up those tired eyes? These tricks of the trade will have you looking wide-eyed in no time:

Use a squirt of eye drops in the morning to instantly brighten your sleepy eyes.

Another thing a mom can do to look more polished and brighten up and lift the eye area is to get eyebrows shaped and or plucked and darken in remaining brows with a brow pencil like this Brow Power Super Skinny from It Cosmetics.

Try an under-eye concealer one to one and a half shades lighter than your overall skin tone, to brighten the under-eye area.

Hydrate Lips

Smooth on lip gloss or a light coat of lipstick to brighten up your entire face. Just for an extra tip, smoothing lipstick on with a lip brush rather than just swiping it, helps it to last so much longer.

Using these 5-minute makeup tips for moms, you can look and feel great without taking too much time each day. A beauty expert recommended being organized! “If you have everything you need and just three to five minutes, you can look great in a few easy steps.”
